Line & Copy
Editing
-
I will dive deep into your manuscript, line-by-line, to give your reader the best experience. Round one is line editing, where I edit for flow and readability. Line two is copy editing, where I ensure the grammar, spelling, and punctuation are all in line. I use The Chicago Manual of Style and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary for reference.
Let's polish and elevate your story!

Editing
-
Copy editing helps your manuscript on a technical level by checking spelling, grammar, word usage, and punctuation mistakes. This is where we focus on the details including: timeline details, continuity, or making sure that’s the best place for a comma.

Developmental Editing

Unveil the hidden potential of your draft with a manuscript evaluation! Let's ensure your story is structurally sound, evokes empathy for well-rounded characters, and is a total page-turner.
A manuscript evaluation looks at big-picture items such as:
Crafting compelling characters with clear motivations, arcs, and flaws.
Ensuring your story has a sound structure.
Walking the reader through the story at the perfect pace
While falling those pesky plot holes.
Ensuring your world-building makes sense while avoiding cluttered info dumping.
My manuscript evaluation also comes with a brief marketing report including comp titles, trope list, hunger levels of the market, and 2-3 marketing hooks.

What my clients are saying!
Each editing service can come with a free sample edit. Line, copy and proofreading all come with two passes of editing before I hand it back to you. I’ll send over a contract that outlines you keeping your rights to the work, and my anti AI promise. I offer clear communication via email, with responses within 24-48 hours.
After working together, you have two weeks to email me your questions for continued support.
I offer payment plans for services over $100.

An overview of the reader experience! This includes in-line content and a written reader report of 2+ pages (often longer).
I will focus on my favorite parts, parts I struggled with, thoughts on characters & arcs, plot & pacing, and overall reader enjoyment.
